Abstract

Objective: the purpose of this study was to report our experience in management and clinical result of Spigelian hernia with preperitoneal mesh repair or without mesh repair. Experimental design: retrospecitve analysis. Subjects: the medical records of 11 cases of Spigelian hernia with surgical treatment were reviewed. The clinical characteristic, treatment and clinical result were evaluated. Results: of the 11 cases that were evaluated, 7 patients underwent open repair of hernia without extra-peritoneal mesh (group A), the other 4 patients underwent open surgery with extra-peritoneal mesh (group B). There were no significant difference in age, gender, body mass index, underlying diseases, symptoms, duration of symptoms, features of hernia sac and method of approach. No recurrence was found in these two groups. The mean follow-up time was 8.5 ± 3.2 (years) in group A and 6.7 ± 2.1 (years) in group B. Conclusions: whether open repair of spigelian hernia with or without extra-peritoneal mesh gives the same and well result.

Abstract

A 0.1 μm In02Al08Sb-InAs HEMT MMIC technology was developed for phased-array applications with ultralow-power and oxidation-free requirements. An In02Al08Sb layer was utilized to replace the upper AlSb layer in the conventional AlSb-InAs HEMT in order to mitigate the oxidation incurred by the AlSb layer. In this work, we have demonstrated excellent dc and rf performance on both devices and low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) using 0.1 μm In02Al08Sb-InAs HEMTs on 3-inch GaAs substrates. This accomplishment is crucial for phased-array applications with ultralow-power and oxidation-free requirements.

Abstract

This paper reports the CSG/CDG capacitance behavior of 100 nm fully-depleted (FD) SOI CMOS devices with HfO2 high-k gate dielectric considering gate tunneling leakage current. According to the 2D simulation results, a unique two-step CSG/CDG versus VG curve exists for the device with the 1.5 nm HfO2 gate dielectric due to the vertical displacement effect. Gate tunneling leakage current has a more impact on CDG as compared to CSG

Abstract

This paper investigated various approaches to integrate Cu and extra low-k dielectric (ELK, k=2.5~2.2) for dual damascene fabrication. We demonstrate a trench-first hard mask process flow without k degradation by ash-free process and a novel pore sealing technique. In addition, we have extended this pore sealing concept to a via-first PR mask approach for porous ELK of 2.2. Both optimized hard mask and PR mask process flows are demonstrated promising for Cu/ELK integration for 65/45/32nm generations

Abstract

FUSI metal gate with strained engineering is extensively investigated and reported for the first time. Enveloped FUSI (fully silicided) phase transfer and volume change induced stress exhibits 10% NMOS ION enhancement. Further, the second CESL (contact etch stop layer) induced stress raised another 8% NMOS ION gain. Although the first CESL on poly-gate top removed by FUSI CMP leads to 10% PMOS ION degradation, it can be recovered or further improved by a dual CESL process

Abstract

The four LEP collaborations, ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL, have searched for the neutral Higgs bosons which are predicted by the Minimal Supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). The data of the four collaborations are statistically combined and examined for their consistency with the background hypothesis and with a possible Higgs boson signal. The combined LEP data show no significant excess of events which would indicate the production of Higgs bosons. The search results are used to set upper bounds on the cross-sections of various Higgs-like event topologies. The results are interpreted within the MSSM in a number of "benchmark" models, including CP-conserving and CP-violating scenarios. These interpretations lead in all cases to large exclusions in the MSSM parameter space. Absolute limits are set on the parameter tan β and, in some scenarios, on the masses of neutral Higgs bosons.

Abstract

The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were reinforced with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) matrix resins to improve the electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of CNTs/PET composites in different contents of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5 wt%. The powder material of PET and CNTs were first blended and then hot-pressed to form film specimen. The organizations and microstructures of the composites were studied with scanning electron microscope (SEM), the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The electrical resistivity of the composites was measured and was found to reduce rapidly when the contents of CNTs increase from 0 to 0.75%. The rate of reduction decreases as the contents of CNTs is greater than 0.75%. Temperature effect on the resistivity experiments indicates that the resistivity of the composites is not governed by CNTs, but the polymer materials between neighboring MWCNTs.

Abstract

A novel PECVD porous low-k material with k=2.5, LK(k=2.5), has been successfully integrated with Cu for 90 nm generation BEOL interconnect technology on 300 mm wafers. Fundamental film studies showed that this low-k material is thermally stable up to 400/spl deg/C and can be strongly adhered to various dielectric films. Electrical measurement results from the Cu/LK(k=2.5) damascene interconnect showed tight and 100%-yielded distributions in 0.12/0.12 /spl mu/m interline leakage, one million 0.13 /spl mu/m viachain via Rc and 0.12 /spl mu/m Cu line Rs. To maximize the Cu/LK(k=2.5) interconnect capacitance performance, no middle etch stop layer and no top CMP cap were used in the dielectric film stacking. The final k value of the LK(k=2.5) after integration was retained at 2.5 using an optimized PR ashing chemistry by comparing the Cu/LK(2.5) 0.12/0.12 /spl mu/m interline capacitance to a Cu/LK(3.0) one. The intrinsic BEOL time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) lifetime, T/sub 63,/ of the Cu/LK(k=2.5) is predicted to be 4.56/spl times/10/sup 8/ yrs at 0.3 MV/cm and 125/spl deg/C. Further reliability evaluations of the Cu/LK(k=2.5) in electromigration (EM) and stress migration (SM) showed that its predicted T/sub 0.1/ EM lifetimes for 0.12 /spl mu/m Cu line or 0.13 /spl mu/m via at 1 MA/cm2 and 110/spl deg/C are 152k hrs or 144k hrs, and its SM failure rate (>10% shift in Rc) is zero after 500hr annealing at 175/spl deg/C. Finally, the packaging feasibility of this Cu/LK(k=2.5) damascene interconnect was also demonstrated using current wire bonding technologies.

Abstract

Nine-metal-level (9 ML) Cu/CVD low-k dielectric with k=2.2, Cu/LK (k=2.2), damascene integration on 300 mm wafers for 90/65 nm generation has been successfully demonstrated for the first time. To minimize line-line capacitance for least BEOL interconnect RC delay, no higher-k cap for Cu CMP or higher-k middle etch stop layers for metal trench etching were used in inter metal dielectric (IMD) film stacking. Integration challenges in the Cu/LK (k=2.2) damascene building were overcome by novel approaches in IMD film processing, Cu CMP and patterning. Excellent physical, electrical, reliability, and packaging results from this Cu/LK (k=2.2) BEOL interconnects are demonstrated.

Abstract

A method of fabricating submicron gratings for optoelectronic devices from a glass mask was proposed and demonstrated. The glass mask has gratings on both sides with a period of at least four times of the final feature size. By modifying the grating periods on the mask, one can achieve multiple‐period gratings with a very fine period spacing for advanced wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) devices. In this letter, we demonstrated 0.5 μm second‐order gratings for 1.55 μm distributed‐feedback lasers and gratings with a 6 A period difference for WDM laser arrays using only optical sources.

Abstract

A high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed to determine the various carotenoids in tomato juice. A C 30 column and a mobile phase of acetonitrile–1-butanol (7:3, v/v) (A) and methylene chloride (B) with the following gradient elution were used: 99% A and 1% B intitally, increased to 4% B in 20 min, 10% B in 50 min and returned to 1% B in 55 min. Sixteen carotenoids, including all- trans -lutein, all- trans -β-carotene, all- trans -lycopene and their 13 cis isomers were identified and resolved within 52 min with flow-rate at 2.0 ml/min and detection at 476 nm. Of the various extraction solvent systems, the best extraction efficiency of carotenoids in tomato juice was achieved by employing ethanol–hexane (4:3, v/v). Lycopene was found to be present in largest amount in tomato juice, followed by β-carotene and lutein.

Abstract

In summary, we report a strain induced long period grating (LPG) created by bonding an etched single mode fibre (SMF) onto a corrugated Si fixture with on-chip heater and temperature sensor. The loss of the LPG can be tuned electrically through the microheater current and monitored simultaneously. The use of Si fixture lends itself to easy integration of microheater and other cascaded filter structure. The results may be useful for dynamic spectral shaping in DWDM networks.

Abstract

The charged-particle multiplicity distribution is measured for all hadronic events as well as for light-quark and b-quark events produced in e+e− collisions at the Z pole. Moments of the charged-particle multiplicity distributions are calculated. The Hq moments of the multiplicity distributions are studied, and their quasi-oscillations as a function of the rank of the moment are investigated., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract

Doubly-charged Higgs bosons are searched for in e+e− collision data collected with the L3 detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies up to 209 GeV. Final states with four leptons are analysed to tag the pair-production of doubly-charged Higgs bosons. No significant excess is found and lower limits at 95% confidence level on the doubly-charged Higgs boson mass are derived. They vary from 95.5 to 100.2 GeV, depending on the decay mode. Doubly-charged Higgs bosons which couple to electrons would modify the cross section and forward–backward asymmetry of the e+e− →e+e− process. The measurements of these quantities do not deviate from the Standard Model expectations and doubly-charged Higgs bosons with masses up to the order of a TeV are excluded., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract

Heart rate variability is due to the interaction of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. The spectral analysis of HRV provides a noninvasive probe to assess the function of the autonomic nervous system. The recording of physiological signals on free-moving subjects provides a useful tool to evaluate the autonomic states in the daily activities, but the information of activities is lack in the conventional ECG Holter, so it is difficult to estimate HRV in different activities. In this paper, we developed a microcontroller-based system for ECG and physical-activity recording system. The acceleration signals located at chest and thigh is used to classify the basic activities, including lying (supine, left lateral, right lateral, and prone), sitting, standing, and dynamic activity. Time-frequency analysis is used to compute the time-varying spectra of heart rate variability. In the 24-hour recording, the high-frequency fluctuations are the largest and the second in the sitting, which means major dominance of parasympathetic tone. As the posture is changing form sitting to standing and dynamic activity, the low-frequency power to high-frequency power ratio increases which demonstrates the increase of sympathetic tone and decrease of parasympathetic tone.

Abstract

We present a novel low temperature bonding technique for fabricating long wavelength vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL's). The technique relies on a 750 /spl Aring/-thick intermediate spin-on glass layer to join a highly efficient InP-based InGaAs-InGaAsP strain-compensated multiple quantum well (SC-MQW) gain medium on a GaAs substrate. We fabricated the device on GaAs in order to take advantage of highly reflective AlAs-GaAs Bragg reflectors. The optically-pumped device has a low threshold pump power of 4.2 kW/cm/sup 2/ at room temperature and operates at a wavelength of 1.44 /spl mu/m. >

Abstract

We report optically pumped long wavelength vertical‐cavity surface‐emitting lasers (VCSELs) made of strain‐compensated multiple quantum wells. The structure of the VCSELs consists of 30 pairs of compressive strained wells and tensile strained barriers as the gain medium and Si/SiO2 dielectric mirrors. The lasers operate at 1.59 μm wavelength. The threshold power density was measured to be 3 kW/cm2 at room temperature, corresponding to a threshold current density of about 2 kA/cm2. The VCSELs have a characteristic temperature T0 of 90 K between 10 and 60 °C, and 60 K from 70 to 110 °C.

Abstract

In anti-Gray codes, binary indexes are assigned to code vectors in a way that maximizes the average quantization distortion introduced in the reproduced source vectors when a transmitted index is corrupted by channel noise. In this paper, anti-Gray coding is used for VQ encoded images. Since the average distortion at the receiver is maximized by the anti-Gray coding technique, errors can be easily detected. To detect channel errors, we first classify an image into uniform and edge regions. Then we propose a mask to detect channel errors based on the image classification (uniform and edge regions) and anti-Gray code characteristics. We also mathematically derive criteria for error detection based on image classification. Once error indexes are detected, the recovered indexes can be easily chosen from a candidate set by minimizing the gray-level transition across the block boundaries in a VQ encoded image. Simulation results show that the proposed technique provides the detection results with less than 0.1% probability of error and more than 86.3% probability of detection at random bit error rate 0.1%. For those undetected errors, they appear invisible. In addition, the proposed approach provides a better PSNR performance than other similar techniques and pseudo-Gray codes for images under noisy channels.

Abstract

Multiple quantum well (MQW) lasers have exhibited improved performance over conventional double heterostructure (DH) lasers for low threshold, high frequency, and high power applications. Ideally, the modulation bandwidth should increase with the number of wells due to the enhancement of differential gain. However, in reality, the maximum number of wells that can work effectively is governed by carrier transport. Because of the lower mobility of holes, those wells far away from the hole injection side (p-electrode) receive less carriers and have a smaller gain; and those wells close to the p-electrode receive more carriers and have a higher gain. The excess carriers in the wells near the p-electrode tend to reduce the differential gain, thus degrade the high frequency characteristics. A carrier diffusion model is used to theoretically analyze the effect of nonuniform pumping in a 1.55 /spl mu/m InGaAs/InGaAsP MQW (20 wells) laser. A substantial nonuniformity in gain distribution among the wells limits the ultimate modulation bandwidth. Possible schemes of overcoming the transport-limited nonuniform pumping such as using p-doping are discussed.

Abstract

A high-performance BiCMOS data separator IC has been created with a 1.5 GHz NPN FT, 2 mu m EXAR modular CMOS process. Equivalent performance to bipolar implementations have been achieved at one half of the die size and nearly one quarter of the power. A versatile N2000 EXAR process and cell library was used for this design. The process features a well-characterized cell library containing nearly all required cells. Minimal cell design or adaption was necessary. The addition of two mask layers for buried layer and p base allows the inclusion of both an npn transistor and a lateral pnp device. There are 16 mask steps used. The process has two levels of metal and dual poly for interconnection. >

Abstract

For high-capacity wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical communication systems, distributed feedback (DFB) laser arrays having a nanometer wavelength spacing are highly desirable. Most of the WDM laser arrays fabricated today used E-beam lithography to achieve accurate control of the channel spacing. However, E-beam lithography is not suitable for high volume production because of its low throughput and high cost. Recently, we developed a new fabricating process, cascaded self-induced holography, to form submicron gratings. This process is simple, reliable, and insensitive to vibrations and environmental changes. In this paper, we use cascaded self-induced holography to demonstrate multiple grating pitches having a period difference of a few angstroms between adjacent devices. This technique is particularly attractive for WDM laser arrays.

Abstract

The partially depleted SOI MOSFET (PD-SOI) has been found to be an attractive device due to advantages such as full dielectric isolation and reduced junction capacitance compared to the bulk Si device (Assaderaghi et al, 1997; Maeda et al, 2000). However, the floating body effect occurs on PD-SOI devices, resulting in threshold voltage reduction and noise overshoot (Tseng et al, 1997). Body contact structures have been proposed to improve the floating body effect (Huang et al, 1998). This paper describes high performance 0.1 /spl mu/m generation SOI MOSFET technology with body contact structure (BC-SOI) which was used to investigate the device characteristics as well as thermal effects in comparison with the floating body SOI MOSFET (FB-SOI), which is without body contact. The dynamic-threshold voltage SOI MOSFET (DTMOS) was also investigated.

After apply the material to II-VI light emitting diode, the operation voltage as low as 2.4V can be observed. The II-VI blue light emitting diode (LED) were grown in a RIBER 32P system with Zn(6N), Se(6N), Te(6N), Cd(6N) on (001) GaAs+ substrate. The structure consisted of a GaAs:Si(n+) buffer layer, ZnSe:C1 (0.5um), ZnSe(200A)/ZnCdSe (100A) multiple quantum well, ZnSe(200A), ZnSe:N(0.3um), ZnSe:N/ZnTe:N multilayer and ZnTe:N (300A). Standard photolithography technology was doen to fabricate the diode. The mesa etch was done by (formula available in paper) etching solution. The p-type ohmic was done by AuBe/Au metal. The emission wavelength was 530nm (room temperature) and 495 (30K) with 2.4V under CW operation. Since low operation voltage introduced less heat in the device, better thermal behavior can be expected with this low operation voltage.

Abstract

The reliable n+-ZnSSe metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) blue-green light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been fabricated. The contact metal was CuGe/Pt/Au. The current transport mechanism agree very well with the back-to-back tunneling diodes. The kink phenomena were observed in the MSM current- voltage curves. In the metal-semiconductor interface, the element Zn in ZnSSe can be replaced by Cu results in some acceptor levels as radiative recombination centers in the MS interface. The peak wavelength in the LED electroluminescent (EL) spectra was strongly dependent on the injection currents from 5 to 40 mA. The peak wavelength and full width at half maximum are 510 and 10 nm, respectively, at 10 mA injection current. When the injection current increases to 15 mA, the peak wavelength shifted to 530 nm due to different recombination centers. Further increasing the injection currents, the peak wavelength shifted slightly to the long wavelength side.© (2000) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

Abstract

A first measurement of the cross section of the process e+e−→Zγγ is reported using a total integrated luminosity of 231 pby1 collected with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies of 182.7 GeV and 188.7 GeV. By selecting hadronic events with two isolated photons the eqeyTMZgg cross section is measured to be 0.49+0.20−0.17±0.04pb at 182.7 GeV and 0.47±0.10±0.04pb at 188.7 GeV. The measurements are consistent with Standard Model expectations. Limits on Quartic Gauge Boson Couplings aa0/Λ2 and ac/Λ2 of −0.009GeV−20/Λ2GeV−2 and −0.007GeV−2c/Λ2GeV−2 are derived at 95% confidence level., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract

Conantokin-T (con-T) and conantokin-G (con-G) are two highly homologous peptide toxins found in Conus venom. The former is a 21-residue peptide with four gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) residues (at positions 3, 4, 10 and 14), while the latter is a 17-residue peptide with five gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues (at positions 3, 4, 7, 10 and 14). Despite the apparent similarity in number and relative positions of the gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues, (113)Cd-NMR studies indicated a distinct metal binding behavior for con-G and con-T. There appears to be four binding sites in con-G in contrast to one metal binding site in con-T. To elucidate the mode of calcium binding by the gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues in these conantokins, we designed various analogous peptides with their gamma-carboxyglutamic acid replaced by other amino acid residues. (113)Cd-NMR experiments on conantokin analogues reveal that the major difference in the number of metal binding sites between con-G and con-T is due to the residue at position 7. We also performed molecular simulations to calculate the relative binding free energies of several potential binding sites. Based on our theoretical and experimental results, we propose a 'four-site' binding model for conantokin-G and a 'single-site' binding model for conantokin-T.

Abstract

The development of a Microsoft Excel-compatible Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) sizing analysis "tool" for conceptual design of Mars human exploration missions makes it possible for a user to choose a certain technology in the corresponding subsystem. This tool estimates the mass, volume, and power requirements of every technology in a subsystem and the system as a whole. Furthermore, to verify that a design sized by the ECLSS Sizing Tool meets the mission requirements and integrates properly, mass balance models that solve for component throughputs of such ECLSS systems as the Water Recovery System (WRS) and Air Revitalization System (ARS) must be developed. The ARS Mass Balance Model will be discussed in this paper.

Abstract

A search for unstable neutral and charged heavy leptons as well as for stable charged heavy leptons is performed at center-of-mass energies √ s = 183 and 189 GeV with the L3 detector at LEP. No evidence for their existence is found. We exclude neutral heavy leptons which couple to the electron, muon or tau family, of the Dirac type for masses below 92.4, 93.3 and 83.3 GeV, and of the Majorana type for masses below 81.8, 84.1 and 73.5 GeV, respectively. We exclude unstable charged heavy leptons for masses below 93.9 GeV for a wide range of the associated neutral heavy lepton mass. If the unstable charged heavy lepton decays to a light neutrino, we exclude masses below 92.4 GeV. The production of stable charged heavy leptons with mass less than 93.5 GeV is also excluded., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract

Radially anisotropic Pr/sub 15/Fe/sub 77.5/Cu/sub 1.5/B/sub 6/ permanent magnets have been prepared from hydrogen decrepitated (HD) powders by conventional powder metallurgy processes. The best magnetic properties obtained along the radial directions are as follows: (BH)/sub max/=10.5 MG-Oe, B/sub r/=7.5 kG, and iH/sub c/=8.5 kOe. Since Pr/sub 2/(Fe,Cu)/sub 14/BH/sub x/ exhibits planar anisotropy, the tetragonal c-axis of the HD powders should lie in the plane perpendicular to the field direction during alignment compaction. This style of radial alignment is not changed in the subsequent dehydrogenation and sintering processes. The easy direction of magnetization of the magnet can be changed by alloy design, switching from radial directions to the field direction with the addition of 33 wt.% or more of Nd-Fe-B. Further addition of Nd-Fe-B monotonically increases both B/sub r/ and (BH)/sub max/. For the Nd-Fe-Cu-B system, a small concentration of 1.5 at.% Cu dramatically deteriorates the magnetic properties of the sintered magnet due to the extensive precipitation of free iron. >

Abstract

29 consecutive patients treated for reconstruction of various scalp defects with 30 free flaps were reviewed. The scalp defects resulted from accidents (13), electric burns (4), tumour excision (8), chronic osteomyelitis (1), and osteoradionecrosis (1). Secondary reconstructions for cosmetic improvement were performed in 2 patients. The defects involved scalp with bone exposure in 21 patients, and both scalp and calvarium in 8 patients. The average extent of the defects was 130 cm2 (23-420 cm2). Free flaps employed for reconstruction included radial forearm flaps (15), latissimus dorsi muscle flaps (10), medial arm flaps (2), juri flap (1), rectus abdominis muscle flap (1), and scapular flap (1). In 6 cases bone grafts were used for skull reconstruction. Three patients required dura repair. There were two flap failures. Donor-site morbidity was negligible. No local recurrence occurred in 7 tumour cases who are still alive. Secondary procedures (tissue expansion, debulking) were performed in 6 patients. The authors recommend selection of reconstructive options for scalp defects according to their aetiology, localisation, and duration of treatment, whereas the size of the defect dose not seem to be the most important determinant. They conclude that a free flap procedure is appropriate for scalp reconstruction in trauma, osteomylitis, and osteoradionecrosis cases, and following radical resection of malignant tumours.

Abstract

Local multiplicity fluctuations in hadronic Z decays are studied using the L3 detector at LEP. Bunching parameters are used for the first time in addition to the normalised factorial moment method. The bunching parameters directly demonstrate that the fluctuations in rapidity are multifractal. Monte Carlo models show agreement with the data, reproducing the trend, although not always the magnitude, of the factorial moments and bunching parameters., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract

A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson has been performed with the L3 detector at LEP. The data sample was collected at three centre-of-mass energies, 161.3, 170.3 and 172.3 GeV with integrated luminosities of 10.8, 1.0 and 9.2 pb, respectively. No Higgs signal is observed. In combination with previous data taken at the Z resonance, a lower Higgs mass limit, MH > 69.5 GeV, is obtained at 95% confidence level., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract

We report on the measurement of W-boson pair-production with the L3 detector at LEP at an average centre-of-mass energy of 172.13 GeV. In a data sample corresponding to a total luminosity of 10.25 pb−1 we select 110 four-fermion events with pairs of hadronic jets or leptons with high invariant masses. Branching fractions of W decays into different fermion-antifermion pairs are determined with and without the assumption of charged-current lepton universality. The branching fraction for hadronic W decays is measured to be: B(W → hadrons) = 64.2+3.7−3.8 (stat.) ± 0.5 (syst.) %. Combining all final states the total cross section for W-pair production is measured to be: σWW = 12.27+1.41−1.32 (stat.) ± 0.23 (syst.) pb. The results are in good agreement with the Standard Model., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract

This paper gives the extensive experience of using ripple signals in direct load control. The content includes the following: (A) installation and testing: the experience about the installation and testing is quite important. The problems and solutions are also discussed. This also includes the effect of ripple control system on the distribution system. (B) Control of air-conditioners and other loads: the types of air-conditioners include window, basket, and central. For small size machines, the power sources can be switched on or off directly, but for large size machines, the ripple signals can only be used to control the condenser relays. Applications of ripple control in water heaters, street lights, motors, and multi-tariff meters are also given. (C) Substation control simulation: the simulation of direct load control on a power transformer is used to show the method of avoiding transformer overload.

Abstract

Mostly, crown-shaped DRAM capacitor is formed by depositing a series of polysilicon and silicon oxide in a recess followed by etching back to form the vertical side-wall. In this paper, we are proposing a new method which is directly using crown-shaped photoresist pattern in conjunction with the chromless mask (or high transmission half-tone mask) to define the crown structure. A chromless 180 degrees phase shifters on transparent substrate (or high transmission half-tone phase shift mask) is used to create the 'destructive interference' between phase shifters and clear areas at the edges of the phase shifters to define 'dark areas' on the aerial image. The stacked capacitor pattern is defined as phase shifter region, therefore, the 'dark areas' on the edge of the phase shifter becomes the photoresist side-wall after exposing and developing. This crown-shaped resist side-wall then becomes the etching mask to form the crown-shaped capacitors. A special pattern layout of phase shift mask with two groups of phase shifters has been designed to form a double crown-shaped photoresist side- wall. The pattern includes the capacitor node phase shifter and a buffer shifter between two nodes. Lithography simulators, Depict-III, was used to simulate the aerial image intensity distribution of the phase shift mask layout. A single and double crown-shaped aerial image patterns have been simulated. The simulations have shown the results in agreement with the experiments, where a 0.15-0.25 micrometers wide vertical side-wall of a single crown pattern has been obtained. These new capacitors are estimated to increase the capacitance over the conventional thick capacitor by about 50 percent (for single crown) and 110 percent (for double crown).© (1996) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

Abstract

We present a test beam study of energy straggling and multiple scattering in silicon strip detectors using electrons and pions of momenta up to 50 GeV. Results are compared with GEANT simulation using a simple algorithm to parameterize energy loss distribution. The deflection due to multiple scattering in crystalline structure was investigated by placing a GaAs wafer at various angles.

Abstract

Droloxifene (DRO), an estrogen antagonist/agonist, has been shown to possess estrogen-like effects in inhibiting bone turnover leading to cancellous bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of DRO on cortical bone turnover in OVX rats. Sprague-Dawley female rats at 5 months of age were sham-operated (sham, n=8) and orally treated with vehicle, or OVX (n=56) and orally treated with either vehicle, DRO at 0.1, 1, 5, or 10 mg/kg/day, or 17α-ethynyl estradiol (EE) at 3 or 30 μg/kg/day for 4 weeks. Static and dynamic cortical bone histomorphometry was performed on double fluorescent labeled, undecalcified cross sections of tibial diaphyses (proximal to the tibiofibular junction). There were no significant differences in tibial diaphyseal cross sectional area, marrow cavity area, and cortical bone area between groups after 4 weeks of administration. Periosteal mineralizing surface, mineral apposition rate, and bone formation rate-surface referent and endocortical eroded surface increased significantly, while endocortical mineral apposition rate and bone formation rate-surface referent increased nonsignificantly in OVX controls compared to sham controls. Treatment with DRO at doses of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg/day dose-dependently attenuated the OVX-induced higher bone formation indices in both the periosteal and endocortical surfaces and higher bone resorption index in the endocortical surface. At the highest dose (10 mg/kg/day), DRO completely inhibited the increases in bone formation and resorption indices in OVX rats. Similarly, EE at 30 μg/kg/day inhibited the increase in periosteal and endocorrical bone formation and endocortical bone resorption associated with estrogen deficiency in rats, while 3 μg/kg/day, EE decreased only periosteal mineral apposition rate in OVX rats. Our results indicated that DRO prevented OVX-induced higher bone turnover on endocortical surfaces and higher bone formation in periosteal surfaces of tibial diaphyses in an identical manner to EE. Therefore, we concluded that DRO is an estrogen agonist on cortical bone in ovariectomized rats.
